By the way, when we were creating these puzzles using randomized lists of words, we often thought of a silly game we played as children. We would take a dictionary (or a book, magazine or newspaper), randomly open it and with our eyes closed, drop our fingers onto the page. Whatever words they landed on would be written down. This would be repeated a few times until we basically had a jumbled list of words. Then we would challenge each other to come up with a story using these words. The stories would almost always be pure nonesense. But sometimes they were pretty hilarious. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun!

____________

Here's what we came up with using the word list from Puzzle 31:

The wasted macaw peeled the first refund scratch-off he held in his claw. He acquired it through theft from an ornate shop owned by an import-export pirate who told him to swab the deck. We cannot delve into details, but his claw now bled as he dabs his beak with a mysterious beany substance.
